MVCTC Education Foundation 5K finds success to continue helping students

09/30/2014

The Miami Valley Career Technology Center (MVCTC) Education Foundation held the 7th Annual “Pi Miler” 5K run/walk on Saturday, September 27, 2014.  Thanks to the participants and many sponsors of the event, all proceeds will benefit MVCTC students.

The MVCTC Education Foundation was formed in 1991 by the MVCTC staff and various community leaders who wanted to provide targeted assistance to students needing financial help to complete their education. They believed that MVCTC would be the conduit that would connect skilled, well trained, entry-level workers with jobs. The Foundation provides assistance according to need. First, the Foundation provides financial support to both high school and adult students for career-specific materials and tools. Second, the Foundation dispenses “emergency needs” funds for situations that demand immediate attention and have exhausted all other resources. Third, the Foundation gives college scholarships annually to help students who want to go on to post-secondary education.

The Mission of the MVCTC Education Foundation “is to assist students whose financial or personal needs would prevent them from achieving an education and reaching their full potential. The belief of the Foundation is that as our students succeed, we all succeed as individuals and as a community.”
